PT works best when it feels collaborative!
We do not just guide exercises. We explain what is happening, answer questions, and adjust along the way. Those conversations help you understand your body and give you the tools to keep improving outside the clinic.

Our Story

Providing the best care possible for over 30 years, Tidewater Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Associates, P.A. was founded in 1984 under the guidance of Dr. W. James Downs, Jr., PT, DSc, ECS. Downs founded the firm in response to local physicians seeking progressive physical therapy services for patients on the DelmarvaPeninsula. It is that grassroots attachment that has been the cornerstone of Tidewater Physical Therapy’s philosophy since day one.

Since its foundation, Tidewater Physical Therapy has expanded to 16 locally owned clinics across Delmarva. Our therapists have continued to increase their certifications and knowledge in many specialty areas to provide for their ever-growing patient population. In addition, Tidewater Physical Therapy is a certified Medicare Rehabilitation Agency, meaning our organization willingly accepts a stringent set of guidelines in which to operate, including annual inspections.

Our commitment to our community is an important component to our practice. We live in and are members of the communities where we work. We support and participate in local philanthropic endeavors, and are committed to seeing our communities thrive!

At Tidewater Physical Therapy, we pride ourselves on the quality and experience of our therapists. Our expert staff is well known for effective outcomes, clinical quality, and exceptional customer service. Our physical therapists are fully licensed and are also proud members of the American Physical Therapy Association. The staff is focused on improving our patients’ health, well-being, and quality of life.
